There have been so many ups and downs these past few years: became a father, lost my mother, growing the Hubman and Chubgirl business beyond my wildest dreams, struggles with IVF to extend the family…

Despite everything going on I’m happy to have spent 2 amazing years with Lincoln. We made a commitment to always be present in his life: to not let the business get in the way of taking him to the park in the mornings before work, or on a random trip to the cottage or Disneyland. And in return he has brightened our lives, and showed us what is truly important in life.

Losing a mother has warped my reality: I saw the most influential person who loved me more than anyone else leave me forever very suddenly.

Trying to summon the strength to walk down the hospital hall knowing I’m about to have the last conversation with my mom put life in perspective: I always tell myself to not let the small things bother you.. be thankful your wife, son, and you are healthy and here today. Be thankful that technology will help grow your family. Be thankful you have a great group of family and friends, be thankful that your passion is your career.

Be thankful for the 2 years, and every single minute beyond that I get to spend with Lincoln. Time is a luxury and I won’t fool myself into thinking I’m guaranteed another minute, I will give him and my family my all - every single day.

Happy birthday buddy ❤️

Wow THANK YOU for sharing all your long distance stories, we had no idea so many people are going through what we had to go through years ago!
Here is a pic of when I visited Chubgirl for XMAS during our time apart!
We've been spending hours reading the many comments and DMs from people about their rough times apart, and we feel your pain 😭 There is a good ending to our long distance after so much loneliness, so I hope if any of you are going through the same thing will know that it'll be worth it one-day! Our love for one another kept us going...
In the upcoming .chubgirl comics we will talk more about how we dealt with long D, and more emotions we had to go through. Keep sending us your stories, although it's impossible for us to reply to all of them, we take the effort to read them all. Good luck to all of you, and stay strong 💪
Also posted some more amazing fan art ♥️ thanks for everything ♥️

This pic was taken when Chubgirl visited me during our long distance relationship. We decided to share with you our emotions we experienced thru a series of comics at .chubgirl this week ♥️
The emotions we went thru were up and down... Many down times, when I questioned if it was worth doing. I tried my best to distract myself from the fact we'd never make this time back, and that I was doing this for our future... But being alone in bed, in a dark basement or room.. I don't think I ever felt as lonely as I did then. I had some amazing roommates, but I never want to be that alone again.
Her visits made all the difference in the world, but the pain of saying goodbye after each visit knowing we wouldn't see each other for months made it almost not worth it. We went as long as 100 days not seeing one another, looking back I don't know how we survived... Maybe it was some luck, or maybe cause we just had no choice but to find a way.
So whenever life feels bad, I remind myself.. at least we are together and close ♥️
Thanks for all the fan art.. makes my day. Stay tuned for the rest of the comics about long distance relationships.. going to put in extra effort for this one ♥️

I turned 35 today, if I had to give any advice it would be this: do what's best for yourself. The key is that only you know what you truly want, everything distracting you from your priority is not worth your time. If you want to draw and be an artist, do that - Chubgirl sacrifices night after night of going out (weekends too). Everyone asks her how does she draw these comics? Well that's the sacrifice it takes. We actually have a very small circle of friends, we don't party often, we travel in very isolated times once or twice a year - the rest of our time is spent on .chubgirl 😁 Although sacrifice may not be the right word because all we WANT to do is Hubman and Chubgirl ♥️
My second piece of advice is to never settle for your Hubman or Chubgirl. Chubgirl is mine because I WAITED YEARS for her to show up in my life. Even if I really liked a girl or felt 80% lucky to be with one - I didn't want to settle down until I was 100% sure she was for me ♥️ No one is better than another, all people are different, it's about how compatible you are.

Our move to Toronto is going smooth so far! But maybe because we have been too busy with .chubgirl to really worry about it.
We are staying at our parents place until our new home is ready. We are planning on setting up a large home work space, trying to post daily comics yet create some other Hubman and Chubgirl content(it's proving to be much harder than we thought).
We've been blessed by such great fans, one morning we woke up to over 1000 new direct messages!! It feels bad not replying to everyone, but we need time to make more content 😓
So proud of , so happy to be home again, I missed the big city feel of - and being able to see my loving parents. I haven't had a chance to catch up with friends, but will soon.
Thanks everyone for all the love ♥️♥️♥️

There's only one thing in this world I love just as much as Chubgirl - and that's the 🇨🇦 I would follow their seasons religiously and would cry as a kid when they got eliminated. They may not have won a cup since 1967 but I'll always root for them. I wouldn't ever consider my life complete until they win a championship.
Being a bit older now I can appreciate being able to stay interested in things. The Leafs are one of the few things I would cancel and drop anything to give time to. Thanks for understanding and cheering them on with me.
Go Leafs Go!!!! 💙💙💙💙

It's the end of an amazing chapter in our lives, and I'm so happy I could share it with all of you. When I arrived in LA almost 3 years ago, I was far away from my Chubgirl, and building a start up. Talent management or agents weren't even a thing for gamers, Fortnite was still a couple years away, streaming house was still a new concept, and IRL backpacks didn't exist. I was still learning how to send out tweets, and thought Instagram was a joke only for models.
If you asked me what was the biggest highlight in my time here I could talk for hours. But certainly building a strong company and eventually selling, the spontaneous concept and growth of OfflineTV (Taiwan trip IMO was my peak) along with the Christmas stream. Hosting the best parties (broken wall btw), and attending World's in China. Bonding with my fellow managers and agents, fighting for our clients (you know who you all are).
But certainly the absolute best moments are with .... My God what would I do without you... You waited a year while engaged apart from one another, and then left your job and your family and friends in the only home you ever knew - to join me in LA because I had a hunch managing people who played video games for a living was the next big thing. I must have sounded crazy to you. But that also lead to memories I'll never forget: times we spent exploring LA and California - Hiking, Disneyland, the endless late night kbbq, night markets, farmers markets.. or the countless hours we stayed in as hermits to work on .chubgirl . We're closing in on 100K followers on a comic based around our lives and our love for one another.. what can I even say to that?
I cannot thank everyone we met and bonded with enough for making our time here as memorable as possible. I don't want to name names, I'm afraid I'll miss somebody - you all know who you are ♥️
We're headed home, ready to start our next chapter- to start a family. And nothing can make me happier or more excited for it.
Last but not least- thank you everyone who follows us, we read every comment and message. It lifts our spirits, I hope you'll continue to follow us as we take root in Toronto 🇨🇦 @ Forty55 Lofts
